I wasn’t sure exactly what to call this recipe, since although it’s been a perennial favorite for the last three months around here, I don’t have a title for it worthy of the powerful taste this dish (quite literally) brings to the table. It’s the result of initially endeavored to […]

So, disclaimer, I’m not Thai 😀 But I am a lover of flavor, and some variation of this vegan Thai green curry dish has been a favorite for many years. When I was in college, a curry similar to this one was one of the first Thai dishes I tried…ever. […]
This dish is an attempt to bring home the flavor of a rice noodle dish we’ve found at Thai restaurants a handful of times…with my own twist, of course! This dish is, like many of the other authentic tasting Asian dishes on here, one that might require either a trip […]
One of the quickest things to make for dinner when there’s not a whole lot of time available to spend on it is stir fry. We make stir fry all the time and usually don’t write it down, or take pictures…but this is not always. Those of you who have tried […]
Here’s a twist on the classic raw vegan pizza concept…raw vegan white pizza! Packed with heart-healthy omega-3s and featuring delicious creamy cashews, bold Kalamata olives, and fresh basil, this is sure to bring a new dimension to your dinner. If you’ve never made raw pizza before, you should note that […]
This savory and relatively quick single-dish dinner came out of random groceries I bought at Trader Joe’s one day. They have this lovely marinated Sriracha tofu, which was the main inspiration for the stir-fry. Sriracha tofu is essentially just extra firm tofu marinated in Sriracha–so you could totally make your […]
Whether you’re eating gluten or not, you’ve got to try carrot noodles! They’re just sweet enough, and prepared in this recipe, tastefully savory as well. This can be a creative side or even the focus of your whole meal. As a main dish, it can be topped with whatever you […]
This dish is the type of comfort food that we actually feel pretty good about eating, too. Why? Not only is it swimming in creamy deliciousness, but it’s also sneaking in some secret greens and antioxidant-rich turmeric as well. That’s right…this super awesome pasta salad comes secretly packed with not […]
A meal that is whole foods and plant-based is generally somewhat simple, meaning that on the up side, it’s usually pretty easy to make. The downside is that sometimes these concepts are SO easy that we fool ourselves into thinking they’re common sense and thus never try them (I so […]
I have been craving this black bean soup–an excellent source of iron–ever since the first time I made it, and what adds a sour/tangy flavor to this is–instead of the expected limes–hearts of palm in their broth! Preserved hearts of palm typically come packed in a slightly sour citric acid […]
What is the black superfood in this stir fry? It’s surprisingly cheap and easy to find, and it’s called wood ear mushroom. Wood ear mushroom (aka wood ear fungus) has iron, vitamin B2, fiber, and collagen–yes, the same collagen that keeps your skin looking young and elastic. Naturally sourced collagen […]
We often buy salad dressings for the convenience factor, but if you are trying to avoid preservatives and cut down on your consumption of unhealthy fats, (most vegetables oils,) making your own dressing is the way to go. It’s really easy, is fairly quick to make, and it stores for […]
